i found the pantone huey pro on sale right now. is the spyder or the i1 products really worth twice the price?
i don't print at home, but would like some consistency when editing between two monitor. i've read good and bad reviews for all three products. any thoughts?

i recall senna saying it's a great competitor to the famed Tokina 11-16. Having the extra 3mm on the wide end is intriguing to me, so unless you need a constant 2.8 I say it's up there in terms of UWAs.
As for the cheapest price in Canada, it really depends on who has it on sale. Check the usual Broadway Camera, Beau, Kerrisdale, Lens&Shutter locally, but also Vistek, Henry's, McBain outside of BC.

Thanks for the price site, thats actually really helpful. Most of the shops around here will price match with in Canada 
m3thods is right though, no 8-16 yet.
The only thing holding me away from it at the moment is the high aperture (and lack of weather sealing). But this is what you can expect for something so wide.

for those of you interested in the sigma 8-16, i dunno if this had been posted before, it's a review of the lens by The Digital Picture. http://www.the-digital-picture.com/R...ns-Review.aspx | |

But this is what you can expect for something so wide. | to be fair the majority of UWAs are not weather-sealed. I can only think of Canon's upcoming UWA L (8-15 I think) and a few primes (14mm L ) on the canon side at least. However those will come at a much higher price premium- but i guess if money's no real issue I'd wait around for more reviews on the much-anticipated 8-15L

yeah the 8-15L is a fisheye. canon japan had the video up and it looks pretty good. depending on price, that might be my next lens since i have been looking at getting a uwa for ff
** not a bad price. $1400 USD on adorama pre-order http://www.adorama.com/searchsite/de...m_term=CA8154* | |

We have the Sigma 8-15 in stock - it's quite a nice lens. In fact, it's the only Sigma that the owner has deemed good enough to keep in stock.

How is the EF 70-300 F 4-5.6
I read the review on SLR gear looks pretty good.
I am thinking of selling my 55-250 for it

I am thinking of selling my 55-250 for it | i've heard only good things about it during my telephoto research. if you're looking for a great travel tele and don't want to shell out for the good looking L version, I say get it.

| Metz 50 AF-1
Anyone know much about the Metz 50 AF-1? Was thinking of picking up an SB600 over the holidays until I stumbled onto this. I'm open to suggestions as well. Thanks.
It's for a Nikon D80 btw.
